Hi all,, my name is Pat Pollard my aquaponics system consists of 4 plastic 44s cut in half these flow back into my gold fish pond,, I have had this setup for about 4 years and only grow strawberries to just keep the pond crystal clear,,I grow organically in my backyard so havent really converted to aquaponics fully. I also own a hobby farm and would like to set up a larger intergrated system in the near future. I keep chickens and have just brought a biopod and was looking for some BSFL in Perth Western Australia,, I have seen a post by Gabe saying he has some if anyone is interested but due to being a new mwmber I cannot message him yet,,not sure how long till I can Message or if someone can contact him for me (searched Perth BSFL to find him) Anyways great site and I hope to learn and also contribute to this site in the future Thanks Pat |

Welcome. Saw some BSFL in my worm bin the other day. I would imagine you have them about in VP too. The ones in my worm bin did not look active so maybe not warm enough yet? |

Put some food scraps in the biopod and they will come. I tried bread soaked in milk and worked well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Pat I have kept all my worm bins inside during winter so don't have any at the moment, I moved them out two weeks ago so will be checking for BSFL. They normally come once i add a bit of chicken poo to to the bins. As Matt said - they all around. If you get some chicken manure going in a compost heap/worm bin they should arrive. They don't like the perth winters - but they must be able to overwinter because they normally arrive quickly once weather starts heating. Gabe |

Thanks heaps for all the replies,, I collect all the vege scraps from the Manning farmers market (the main two vege sellers) I then feed this to the rabbits,, what they dont eat I then compost with a bit of horse poo to soak up the mess,, even then it starts to get a bit funky and my worms dont want to touch it,, this is what I brought the biopod for,,saw it in the gumtree for 150 second hand I thought maybe the guy would have some but he said same as you guys set it up and they will come,, I pulled a 70 or so large grub/maggots out of my compost and set them up in a two meter flywire enclosure to breed but all I have is a shitload of big march flys lol I also own a hobby farm at westdale and would like to get something going on a large scale if I can source enough food for them Anyway Im sure the posts will show up when they arrive Thanks again Pat |

Also the biopod I brought wasnt cleaned out properly so I was hoping the smell would attract them and discourage other flies |
